  • Discoverable electronic messages
    Patent number: 11777891
    Abstract: A message sender crafts an electronic message and addresses the electronic message to at least one message recipient. The message sender can further specify one or more discoverability criteria, such as a time criterion, a geolocation criterion, etc. In some embodiments, the message sender can create the electronic message and specify the discoverability criteria utilizing an application program executing on an electronic communication device of the sender or a browser-based application. The sender submits the electronic message to a message service, which can be provided, for example, by a message server coupled to the Internet. Although the electronic message is submitted to the message service, content of the electronic message is not immediately delivered to the message recipient. Instead, the message server reveals the content of the electronic message to the message recipient when at least some, and in some cases all, of the discoverability criteria are satisfied.
